Join us for a whirlwind roundtable conversation between the butcher, the baker (Fernando D.) and the chef (William H). We compare notes on soul searching, hustling and weird career turns. Topics include everything from how bolts to airplanes are made, the great gluten war and what life in a commercial kitchen is like.Intro track by Nicolas Sanchez02:00 Fernando Intro03:18 Will intro05:00 Substance abuse09:28 Starting in food; Recovery10:00 Chef lifestyle13:30 Areospace & Defense14:00 Life in a machineshop16:50 Tres Leches story begins20:32 Following your heart vs. paying bills22:00 Building motorcycles23:33 Soul searching;finding your passion24:55 Working with your hands26:00 Working with your hands28:00 Rights of passage/ mentorship/ burnout29:00 Life of a tradesman+modernity31:00 Lifestyle/Perpetual dabbling32:00 Life balance/ Work as your identity33:50 Ebbs and flows of creativity/ Internal static35:00 The Enemy Mind35:25 Angry chef story37:00 Sea scallops;dead rats38:00 Will: rites & corporal punishment40:00 Fernet Branca40:30 Notes on espresso;coffee talk43:29 Life as a baker44:25 Breadmaking46:00 Significance of bread47:19 Gluten intolerance & chefs48:00 Industrial bread complex49:00 Modern food
